SimCity 7.0 patch introduces bridges and tunnels

SimCity's ready to fix your traffic problem! No, really! They mean it this time! Maybe bridges and tunnels will help?

Dealing with a city's traffic is never easy (just look at Los Angeles), but SimCity's traffic problem has been a major issue since the game's troubled launch. And no, a patch hasn't really helped matters all that much. Well, seventh time's the charm! EA is ready to deal with SimCity's traffic problem by introducing bridges and tunnels in the upcoming 7.0 patch.

A new video from EA (via Polygon) demonstrates a new height tool, which will allow builders to craft new routes above or underneath other roads. Roads raised high enough will create bridges, while lower ones will create trenches and tunnels. Hopefully, this will solve your city's traffic problem... until a natural disaster hits your bridges and you're stuck cleaning up the piles of rubble.

Update 7.0 is set to arrive later this month.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what is video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
